Jane Iredale Smooth Affair For Eyes

The Smooth Affair For Eyes ($32; janeiredale.com) eye shadows are new for fall'16 from Jane Iredale. They are cream to powder eyeshadows that work by themselves or as bases for powder shadows. The shadows come packaged in glass pots and I like to use my fingers or a flat shader brush with these.

I tried two of five shads from the range - Canvas and Petal. Both Canvas (Sheer Shimmery Gold) and Petal (Pale Shimmery Pink) look like sheer shimmer washes on my skintone and I like them more as bases than by themselves. They are quite forgiving on dry lids and while they don’t really set from a cream to powder, they don’t crease all that much. If you do have very oily lids, I’d recommend a good primer underneath. Overall, they are nice to layer, great as bases and if you like a quick and easy neutral eye look to pair with darker lips for this time of the year, these are definitely worth checking out.
